A woodblock print by Ohara Koson depicts a black crow perched on a branch, eating a persimmon. The simple composition and realistic style are characteristic of the Shin-Hanga movement.
Ohara Koson (1877-1945) was a Japanese artist renowned for his woodblock prints of birds and flowers, a category known as kacho-e. Active during the late Meiji and early Showa periods, Koson initially trained in traditional Japanese painting before transitioning to printmaking. His work found popularity both in Japan and abroad, particularly in the United States. He sometimes signed his work with the name Shoson. In this print, a black crow perches on a branch, its head bowed to eat a bright orange persimmon. The composition is simple, with the crow and persimmons rendered in a realistic style against a pale background. The branch, rendered in muted greys, curves gracefully across the image, bearing several more persimmons. The print exemplifies Koson's skill in capturing the natural world with a delicate touch, characteristic of the Shin-Hanga movement, which aimed to revitalise traditional Ukiyo-e techniques with Western influences.
